COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good movie! submitted by Xris on July 14, 2019, 2:26am Can't wait to see the next one! Jason is very nice to look at in the movie. But I also like how they did the underwater scenes, making it look real. And they have strong female characters to balance against Aquaman.

Skip it submitted by manz on July 24, 2019, 11:33am I really wanted to like this, but did not. It was visually interesting, but too much CGI.

a weak script submitted by yufamily on July 29, 2019, 9:00pm average acting and special effects

Meh submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 1, 2019, 7:51pm See above. (Meh.)

Got twenty whole minutes in submitted by Lady Macbeth on August 2, 2019, 6:08pm I had to call it quits when the setting shifted to underwater cause the special effects were pretty bad. The plot was definitely not good enough to carry such bad CGI.

Enjoyed it more then I thought I would... submitted by Zekicmom on August 15, 2019, 12:54pm ....but it's too long. I could have done with fewer or at least shorter battle scenes. Hopefully the message about us needing to stop polluting the oceans isn't completely forgotten in the action.

Not great, not terrible. submitted by tbbrown76 on August 16, 2019, 1:16pm The special effects and decent ending make up for mediocre acting and plot.
Semi-recommended.

Aquaman submitted by lstorc on August 28, 2019, 4:48pm Aquaman has ridiculous costumes, hair, makeup, acting, and plot elements. The scenic design isn't enough to make up for these weaknesses.

Comic book character movies suck! submitted by mellonir on November 8, 2019, 2:16am I wish Hollywood would stop making comic book character movies.
How many people who that go to see these movies read the comics?
I'll bet the percentage is low.
This one is appealing to the eye, but leaves the brain wanting.

Seriously, "Aquaman" from... "Atlantis"? Was this so-called movie made for 3 year olds???? submitted by Tassos on December 8, 2019, 10:09am What is wrong with all the STUPID movies today? Is the USA populated by so many MORONS who have the $ to see them???? WHO ASKED for all these comic book POS ridiculous cartoon movies???? It is SICKENING that I have to borrow not 10 but 100 DVDs to find ONE DECENT MOVIE, and THIS POS is sure not it!

Lots of computer generated graphics submitted by mandevil on October 5, 2020, 9:37pm Hunky merman, silly and predictable

Aquaman submitted by SBNB on July 7, 2021, 1:32pm Great movie! I hadn’t seen any of the DC Extended Universe movies before this one, and so I wasn’t expecting much from this. But it ended up being a very enjoyable movie with a good story, good pace, and not too many boring battle scenes. I enjoyed watching this one.

2/5 submitted by Morgsush on June 16, 2022, 1:41am this movie takes itself way too seriously.
